FAQ
Is there any functional difference between accounts created with the two login types?
No, both login types create ArcGIS user accounts with the same default user types and license assignments.
I have an ArcGIS login. Will I be forced to create a CU Boulder – SSO Account login?
At this time, there is no plan to stop supporting ArcGIS logins
I have an ArcGIS login and have saved content in my account. Can I create a CU Boulder – SSO Account login and save additional content?
The two login types create completely separate user accounts. You should only save content in one user account. If you have saved content under an ArcGIS Login account, we recommend using that account only.
I have an ArcGIS Login and have saved content in my account. Can I migrate to a CU Boulder – SSO Account login instead?
Maybe. ArcGIS admins may approve migrating content from an ArcGIS login account to an SSO login account and then deleting the ArcGIS login account.
I get an error when trying to install ArcGIS pro. What should I do?
ArcGIS Pro requires users run Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8.0.0 or later. Visit the Esri website for more information and links to upgrade your operating system.
